The rest of the party continues to fight back the zombie horde whilst Civil reads the spellbook. He checks page 2 and 20, but none of the spells appear complete and or legible.
The party attempt to pin the zombie to the floor and hack of its limbs. It appears their tactic has worked, but moments later the amputated zombie crumbles to the ground in a pile of ash and once again, another zombie appears and attacks the party!

"These zombies aren't exactly hardy foes, but this is getting old fast," grunts Talbion, thrusting his spear at the latest zombie's face.

"Perhaps it would be wise to retreat!" cries Redric as he slashes at the zombie. (Roll of 5 + Skill 9 = AS 14.)

Both pages 1 and 7 are unreadable; page 1 is wet and mouldy, page 7 is smudged in too many places. Again the zombie is hacked and slashed to pieces, but another is ready to join the fray soon after.

Civil skims through pages 3 and 4, dismayed as once again, his efforts are futile. Surely there's something of value in this damned book!
Meanwhile, the rest of the party are beginning to tire, and morale is fading. Talbion takes a raking to the face, losing 2 stamina. No-one ses to be able to land a hit, and so the battle continues...
Zombie attacks Throma.
Attack Strength 10... Miss.
*I'll roll another round, Civil can select 4 pages, 2 for each round*
Zombie attacks Jack.
Attack Strength 15.

Snapped out of his stupor by the wound he received, Talbion fights with renewed ferocity:
Round 1 - Roll:7 + Sk:9 = 16
But then his ferocity seems to make him a bit clumsy
Round 2 - Roll: 3 + Sk:9 = 12

Round 1: Redric hacks at the zombie. (Roll of 8 + Skill 9 = AS 17.)
Round 2: He makes another attack. (Roll of 7 + Skill 9 = AS 16.)

Civil reads the spellbook furiously, skimming over the 5th, 6th, 8th and 9th pages.
Four more pages of illegible arcane script.
This zombie's arm is severed and its neck is slashed quite deeply, but it manages to keep itself together enough to claw at Jack's face, causing him to lose 2 Stamina.

Murg, momentarily distracted, attacks for several more rounds:
9 + 9 = 18
9 + 6 = 15
9 + 10 = 19

Murg decapitates the zombie with a hefty chop with his axe, and predictably another zombie rises to confront the party. As this is happening, Civil is still looking for anything useful in the spellbook. This time, however, he makes some progress. On page 11, he finds a small passage that is still intact. As his hands brush the text, it lights up in bright blue lettering. It appears to be some sort of spell. It reads: For Civil: Fanananana
Cosim Patana He checks pages 12, 14 and 15, but it is obvious that these pages contain nothing like the script found on page 11. The rest of the party take care of yet another zombie, with Redric's blade skewering the zombie's head with a lightning fast riposte. Another zombie takes its place, ready to fight. Zombie attacks Murg. Attack Strength 11 (i'll use Murg's most recent roll of 19 against this). |
